You don’t need more time; you need more energy.

Let’s face it! There are twenty-four hours in a day. Nobody gets more, and nobody gets less. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, who your father is, or how well you can kick a football. You get twenty-four hours. It is a pure form of equality.

So how is it that some people get so much more out of each day? Energy. The differentiating factor is energy.

Energy is our most valuable resource, not time. For too long we have been subscribing to myths. Time is our most valuable resource. Stress is bad. Downtime is a waste of time. Money drives performance.

Time isn’t our most valuable resource, energy is. Stress isn’t bad, stress all the time is bad. Downtime isn’t a waste of time, too much downtime is a waste of life. Money doesn’t drive Performance, passion and purpose drive performance.

One of the easiest ways to improve your life is to increase your energy. Most people don’t follow their dreams because they are tired all the time. If you want to change your life, get obsessed with this question: How would my life be different if I had more energy?

You see, our lives expand or contract according to how much energy we have. Here are 5 easy ways to increase your energy level:

1. Drink eight large glasses of water each day.

2. Sleep at the same time every night.

3. Go for a walk every day.

4. Make one healthier choice at each meal.

5. Avoid toxic people and content.
